if Dan Morgan is an alpha GM  &not a " yes man " then why is he not the person hiring the next HC for the Carolina Panthers ? 

But…. Isn’t he apart of the group looking for the next HC? lol

Great, now my love for Dan Morgan as a player will all but vanish as he is probably as crappy of a GM as his predecessors....

Somebody please build me a time machine so I can go forward in time 10-15 years and see if we are still the laughingstock of the NFL

Joe Person's comments on Morgan's future (Link)

As the Carolina Panthers’ simultaneous searches for a head coach and general manager move into the next phases, it’s looking more and more likely that assistant general manager Dan Morgan has a good chance of sticking with the organization in a high-ranking role.

Morgan, the former Panthers linebacker who returned to Carolina in 2021 as Scott Fitterer’s assistant, could succeed Fitterer, his best friend and former colleague. Morgan is among the candidates who interviewed a second time for the GM job, according to a league source with knowledge of the process.

In addition, the 45-year-old Morgan and two other members of the personnel department have been a part of the Panthers’ head coach interviews, league sources told The Athletic. The fact owner David Tepper has included Morgan in the process — along with vice president of player personnel Adrian Wilson and director of player personnel Cole Spencer — would seem to suggest Tepper is considering keeping at least some members of the front office during the transition.

Morgan is one of three known GM candidates to receive a second interview. The others were Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby and New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown, according to a league source.

Some in league circles believe Tepper could be looking to pair Morgan with an executive with a salary cap and contracts background such as Halaby or Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis, who interviewed with the Panthers this year and in 2021 before Fitterer was hired.

Morgan, the Panthers’ first-round pick in 2001, had more than a decade of personnel experience when he followed Fitterer to Charlotte three years ago. The two worked together in Seattle before Morgan joined former Panthers assistant GM Brandon Beane as the Buffalo Bills director of player personnel in 2020.

That Morgan is getting strong consideration from Tepper (and presumably the consulting firm Sportsology) is interesting given Morgan’s close association with Fitterer. The Panthers had a 14-37 record in Fitterer’s three seasons, a .275 winning percentage that was the NFL’s lowest over that span.

Fitterer is well liked around the league and viewed as a consensus builder. Fitterer made several shrewd acquisitions as GM, most notably linebacker Frankie Luvu. But he also picked up Sam Darnold’s fifth-year option before the former New York Jets quarterback ever played a down for the Panthers and passed on the Los Angeles Rams’ offer of two future first-round picks and a Day 2 selection for edge rusher Brian Burns in 2022.

Morgan has close ties to two of the Panthers’ head coach candidates. He was in Seattle when Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales were on Pete Carroll’s coaching staff.

The mob is ever fickle?  Have you lost your goddamn mind.   We have the worst roster in the league, we just had a historically bad season, we gave the #1 overall pick up for an outlier of all outliers and Morgan was a part of all that.  Dont try and poo on the folks that want to completely clean house.  I mean for fugs sake this roster has deteriorated since morgan has come on board.  Is it all his fault, of course not but lets not act like he was some innocent bystander not contributing to this circus

Woah dude, wasn’t trying to throw poo on anyone.

Just think there is a tendency to want to burn everything down at time like this and its often a little more complicated than that. 

We can disagree without it being a personal attack - I think we have agreed on other points.

We didn’t burn it down with Rhule and as sad as it seems, we kept the worst part of Rhule/Fitterer duo and now we have a worse team armed with less draft picks to rebuild.

If we had burned it down, we might have had someone other than Fitterer who would recognize that Burns was a much better way to get a rookie QB and surround them with talent.
